Love the outdoors, but don't want to sleep alfresco? South Carolina State Parks offer a variety of accommodations - from historic cabins to contemporary villas - for those preferring four walls and a roof between them and Mother Nature.

Pick your paradise - beachfront, lakeside, near the mountains or in the woods. Whatever setting you choose, you'll find cozy quarters with all the essentials for a comfortable stay - heat and air conditioning, well-stocked kitchens and, most importantly, indoor plumbing.

Some go beyond the basics, offering the kinds of modern amenities you'd expect in a hotel, including microwave, coffeemaker, high-definition flat-screen TV and even wireless service.
